"Looking For The Best Microcontroller
Projects And Resources?"

Microcontrollers are one of the most useful circuit elements because they are
completely self-contained. These days you don't even have to use an external
crystal for the clock as you can turn on the internal oscillator!

Did you know ?...

...that 98% of the processors used today are microcontollers - that means for every 2
desktop computers you can see in an office there are 98 others that you don't
see!. They are in everything toasters, microwave ovens, security alarms, mobile
phones, petrol pumps, jogging machines... the list is endless.

Most of the modern microcontrollers have a built in ADC, and all have timers
and many other useful modules. All you need to do is decide what to use, and
then activate the appropriate modules.

They also have built in RAM and EEPROM that is re-programmable and programming
them is easy so you can change their operation very quickly - even in
circuit!
